Can we criticise Emi?

Thought that was very poor from him...

Martinelli has a face you would never tire of slapping.

Maatsen is having a stinker

Seems more suited as the impish sub, coming on to run the legs off the opposition in the latter stages.

Set up isn't great starting.

Would have been better off starting with Duran.

There are times when Ollie has deserved some serious criticism - but too many here jump on his back at every opportunity. He's been tremndous for us over the past coupple of seasons
Now he is not.

Full-backs tend to be good going forward or good defensively. They're rarely both.

Going long to Ollie is madness when our midfielders won’t go beyond halfway to support him

Hes put a hell of a lot of work in so far today and done a job for the team in giving us an out

Looks lightweight and positionally all at sea
